A fabulous foiled edition celebrating the fifteenth anniversary
of the publication of Zog by Julia Donaldson and
Axel Scheffler.
'Madam Dragon ran a school, many moons ago.
She taught young dragons all the things that dragons need to know.
Zog, the biggest dragon, was the keenest one by far.
He tried his hardest every day to win a golden star.'
Zog is the keenest dragon in school. He's also the most accident-prone,
flying into trees and even setting his own wing on fire.
Luckily, a mysterious little girl always comes by and patches
up his bumps and bruises.
But will she be able to help him with his toughest test: capturing
a princess?
A gorgeous, shiny foiled cover makes this the perfect gift!
A magical picture book about dragons, knights and princesses
from the UK's number one picture book author and illustrator
Perfect read-aloud rhyming text and stunning pictures on every
page with lots of details to spot
The perfect story for children starting school with bravery,
kindness, friendship and perseverance at the heart
Zog has been adapted into a popular animated film
starring voices from Sir Lenny Henry (Narrator), Hugh
Skinner (Zog), Tracy Ullman (Madame Dragon) and Kit Harrington
(Sir Gadabout).
